'Lie to me, Clow.'

Cardcaptor Sakura probably fosters really unhealthy attitudes about honesty. There are all these scenes, particularly in the last couple volumes, of which the moral is basically, It's okay to deceive your loved ones if you feel like it's for their own good. Particularly if the loved one is Sakura. She will totally thank you for it - tears in her eyes, screentone with bubbles and flowers, the works.

( Facetiousness continues, but with slight spoilers. )

But it is so cute that I don't actually care. I guess Sakura is the only completely heterosexual protagonist? I don't even know if you can count Clow, he has this thing about keeping extremely pretty men around. Well, maybe Kero's straight. It's not addressed.

Ohhh, wait. Miss Mizuki. Okay, so two.

My brain hurts from library. There were four people on my shift for some reason, and all of them but me were new.

(previous Stupid Signs post)

These signs went up everywhere Wednesday:



(That's a list of the words-of-the-day down at the bottom.)

Also, these slips were put into everyone's mailboxes:



"Monty Python Enthusiasts?" So these dudes are trying to take credit for my brilliant emeffing signage? Screw them. I didn't go.

I don't know anyone who did, actually. Thursday evenings are really busy - even aside from all the papers and tests you get Fridays, and the people who start their weekend drinking early, there are always a lot of assemblies and club meetings scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If I'd dragged myself out to anything yesterday evening, I'd have gone to hear the speaker the East Asian department had.

You really need to give people a reason to go to your thing, if you're having it at eight PM on Thursday. And you've got to at least reassure us that you're not the white supremacist group - you don't cover bullshit like that with excitable question marks expecting it to fucking intrigue.

(And damnit, I really hope no one actually thought I was a goddamn Wingless Angel. There were all these people who saw me hanging the things up that night...)

The Epilogue: There is now at least one sign up saying, "My hovercraft is full of eels." I'm an inspiration.
